The Australian series ran on ABC1 in 2011 and starred Melissa George, Jonathan LaPaglia and Sophie Okonedo and was based on the 2008 best-seller by Christos Tsiolkas, which explored what happened when a man slaps a child unrelated to him at a family gathering. Each installment of the eight-episode series told the story from different points of view.

The series earned a BAFTA nomination for best international program and won five Australian Academy of Cinema and Television awards, including best miniseries.
